Jun 4th Fundraiser Successful

Rose Court Farms held a fundraiser at
Madra Rua June 4th to raise money to help send girls to horse camp. Over
a hundred people came out for food, drinks, and fun. We had 12 campers working
the room, who did a great job taking orders and serving food. The silent
auction raised $1011. The food and drink sales raised $890. We had individual
donations by boarders who could not attend totaling $600 for individual
scholarships. So, our total from the fundraiser right now is $2501. We
will be providing $150 for each Rose Court Farms camper to help defray the cost
of camp ($500).

Jason Weber, a co-owner of Madra Rua, said that
"Rose Court Farms has always been a loyal supporter of ours, so we were
happy to return the favor. Plus with a daughter who loves horses, it was hard
to say no to a great charity event like this."

Robert Browning, the owner of Rose Court Farms,
supports young riders and wants to see horse sports in the Lowcountry grow. He said, “Our desire is to broaden the equine experience
for those who want to love horses and those who already do.”

just south of Walterboro, SC, in a town called
Ehrhardt. At this camp, riders practice their skills, play equestrian games,
swim with the horses, and learn cooperative and leadership skills. The camp is
run by Rose Court Farms instructor Lindsey Loppnow, along
with other instructors and assistants. The campers spend their days outside in
a natural setting and their nights in an 18th century plantation house. This
camp helps them to become better riders, but also better young adults.

Madi Cutts, who attended the camp last year, said
that “I gained more confidence in my riding and myself.” Rachel West, who also
attended last year, said, “I am glad I can go again. I have more to learn.”
